How to navigate the kaleidoscope of digital pedagogy in pre primary and primary ELT

A session at the Global Schools Festival 2020 from Christina Giannikas. Digital pedagogy allows for fruitful and beneficial learning experiences for all age groups. Nonetheless, there is still some disbelief about whether young children should be exposed to digital technologies and what repercussions this exposure may have down the line. Is digital pedagogy necessary or a necessary evil when it comes to teaching children? This plenary session will focus on research conducted within the field of digital pedagogy for Very Young Learners (VYLs) and Young Learners (YLs) in connection to children’s developmental needs across the stages. The talk will provide ample information and illustrations of the value of digital pedagogy in pre-primary and primary ELT, and present age-appropriate recommendations for learning by using a variety of digital tools and content. The talk will offer practitioners, material developers and course designers evidence that will help them make informed decisions when creating or choosing learning materials of a digital nature, and inspire participants to explore a digital approach that will benefit children through their journey of language learning.
